The Barberyn Beach is real heaven! Place, treatments, food and staff were all amazing! I booked last minute an Ayurveda retreat due to a very last minute change of plans/destination and followed my instinct when choosing both the destination (Sri Lanka) and the accommodation (Barberyn Beach)… I went with my mother and I think we both agree that we were lucky in choosing so well! Even though we would not have said that at first…: the weather was pretty grey with heavy rain, the humidity was a bit hard and most of all we were very tired and did not realise how the treatments could affect us. We were lethargic the first 3 days, a bit nauseous with some heavy headaches and intense intestinal discomfort, and we thought we were the only ones and did not mention it to anyone. I think it took us a few days to get in the mood and understand exactly the concept and how things worked, take the pace. Having said so, after 3 days, waouh! What a change! We finally were able to notice and appreciate the beauty of the place, the nature, the animals and the sounds but also the small details and attentions that makes the place unique (few small surprises along our stay), the absolutely adorable staff, the caring and attentive behaviour of everyone in general, the friendliness and warmth of the other guests and the efforts that the whole staff makes to make you feel well, welcome and taken care of. The treatments are absolutely wonderful! The masseuses take their time, they are delicate and kind and really go until the end of things. It seems that unfortunately some of them were slightly less great but we were definitely lucky with ours who were amazing! Their massages are complete, from head to toes, strong and smooth at the same time… Acupuncture was a real discovery as I did not like it very much before but there it brought me deep relaxation and I really looked forward to it everyday. The herbal garden where you lay down with patches filled with plants on different areas of your body is a moment of complete bliss, one of my favourites! I fell asleep everytime and always would have felt like staying longer: the sounds of the birds and other animals, the dripping of the rain, the view, everything made it so peaceful… As we started our treatments around 9:30, we were finishing them just in time for lunch. Breakfasts and lunches are buffet and dinners are served apart from buffet Wednesday and Saturday. And the food is DELICIOUS! Everything is tasty, perfectly seasoned and soooo yummy! Really one of the best I ever had! It is composed of various and diverse local Sri Lankan and mostly vegetarian food. Everything is labelled with ingredients and what it is good for or when it is supposed to be avoided. The hotel offers you various activities throughout the week: lectures, excursions, food demonstrations, yoga etc… the beach is beautiful even if quite shaky and the pool area is comfortable. I think I could write for hours about this place! I was a bit disappointed that I did not fit into the atmosphere directly but I now realize it is quite normal and unfortunately we had only 8 days there so time flew very fast… I am pretty sure that we will both be back relatively soon as we fell in love with this place and quickly noticed that there are a lot of usuals coming back since years and years… The only slightly negative point would be that the price of the room is pretty high for its quality and comfort. The beds are good, you will sleep very well but the mosquito net system could be more efficient. The sofa is also not very comfortable and the bathroom could be more practical. The whole think would need a bit of refurbishment in my opinion. Also, the door could be made hermetic in order to prevent big ants or centipedes to come in as they are able to pass underneath. Same for the windows on the balcony. This would add a bit of comfort even though we understand that being in nature also means having to live with a few creatures we are not used to to live with.

Top! If you're looking for an Ayurvedic treatment center , this is the place to be! +++after doctor's consultation you have daily treatments, which include acupuncture, 1 hour massage (4 hands), steam bath with herbs, inhalation, body wrapping with different oils, etc. It takes daily 2,5-3 hours of treatment and for all of that you pay 85€ per day. You get out from this center 10 years younger!! + no meat , no coffee, no alcohol or soda drinks. You have lots of local vegetables freshly prepared, lots of fruits and fresh juices. Be ready for lots of curry ))) +++The place itself is amazing, in a jungle , surrounded with lots of trees and greens, that helps so much to connect to nature + It has a direct access to the beach. + daily yoga classes (morning and evening) + regular guided tours free of charge + they pick up/drop off at the airport And the most important the service is just top! Every single employee does his/her best to make your stay comfortable. They work with 200% engagement!

I visited Barberyn Beach Ayurveda Resort twice and each time made me smile from ear to ear. Starting from the room, it's absolutely spacious (stayed on top of the wellness center), with a balcony of pool and ocean view. The staff bend over backward to ensure your comfort and serve you in any way possible. Food is absolutely amazing, not to mention the service. I am definitely going back in January, I just wish I could visit every year. This is truly a heaven on earth.

A piece of heaven on earth! This Ayurvedic resort will rejuvenate you and leave you feeling younger and healthier. It's been my introduction to Ayurveda and I left with my back pain and bloats gone. Everyone working there was exceptionally nice and genuinely caring while giving the treatments which include a daily massage! I absolutely loved the food. PS. it's a level 1 security hotel - the best way to spend your quarantine ;)

First of all: in my opinion it's completely safe to travel to Sri Lanka . You will be picket up at the airport from the staff that drives you to Barberyn Beach. There you will be welcomed with a refreshing fresh pressed juice and accommodated to your room. I had a lovely room with a great view. It's an absolutely wonderful Resort with Swimmingpool, great surrounding and non touristic beach were you can take nice walks. The staff is super professional, friendly and lovely! You will experience lots of different Ayurvedic Treatments adapted to your person and health needs! The food is incredible! There is rich and various and buffet for breakfast and lunch, prepared with love and a dream for all eyes and obviously taste! I can't wait to go back and highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you very much to the whole staff of Barberyn Beach!!!

An eco-friendly hotel with a beautiful environment. Very friendly staff as well as delicious food and drinks. You can get vegetarian as well as healthy meals here.

Hands down most beautiful Ayurvedic resort in Srilanka. It’s quiet, serene, homely & filled with lush greén gardens & waters.

Really in love with this place. Great environment. Amazing place. Not a single particle of polythene can be seen here. Had a small talk with a guy who works here and said that during this time of the year normally the hotel is fully booked but unfortunately due to the incident that the country had to face there were only few guests there at the time. However there's a definite growth of tourism after the incident but still not to the par. Visit this place and you won't regret your stay here, so much of greenery and nature is surrounded.
